Bill Summary: HR 347 - Reduce Exacerbated Inflation Negatively Impacting the Nation Act

The Reduce Exacerbated Inflation Negatively Impacting the Nation Act (HR 347) aims to address rising inflation rates that have adversely affected the U.S. economy and consumers. The bill proposes a series of measures designed to mitigate inflationary pressures, particularly in essential sectors such as energy, food, and housing.

Key Provisions:

  1. Temporary Price Controls: The bill authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to implement temporary price controls on essential goods and services, particularly in sectors experiencing significant inflation. This measure is intended to stabilize prices and provide immediate relief to consumers.

  2. Increased Funding for Energy Assistance Programs: HR 347 allocates additional funding to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and other energy assistance initiatives, aiming to support vulnerable populations facing high energy costs.

  3. Support for Agricultural Producers: The bill includes provisions for financial assistance to farmers and agricultural producers to help offset rising input costs, thereby ensuring food supply stability and affordability.

  4. Regulatory Review: It mandates a review of existing regulations that may contribute to inflationary pressures, with the goal of streamlining processes and reducing compliance costs for businesses.

Funding and Authorities: The bill authorizes appropriations for the aforementioned programs, with specific funding levels to be determined by subsequent appropriations legislation. The Secretary of Commerce is granted the authority to enforce price controls and oversee the implementation of the bill’s provisions.

Beneficiaries: The primary beneficiaries of HR 347 include low-income households, particularly those struggling with energy costs, as well as agricultural producers facing increased operational expenses. Consumers at large are expected to benefit from stabilized prices on essential goods.

Key Timelines: As of the latest action, HR 347 has been read a second time and is currently placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders (Calendar No. 23), indicating its potential for further consideration and debate in the Senate.
